A los seres humanos siempre les han fascinado las ruinas de las civilizaciones anteriores. El deseo de entender mejor nuestro pasado es lo que mueve a los arqueólogos, artistas y sabios del mundo entero a estudiar los vestigios de epocas pasadas, con la esperanza de captar todo su misterio y su belleza. Creado para documentar la grandeza y decadencia del sistema de los hospitales publicos del pais, el proyecto Estados Unidos abandonado se extendio rapidamente a otros lugares abandonados: fabricas, zonas industriales, escuelas, iglesias, centrales termicas, hospitales, carceles, instalaciones militares, hoteles, balnearios, viviendas... A traves de sus relatos y de sus fotografias, su autor, Matthew Christopher, ha inmortalizado durante los ultimos diez años las ruinas de una de las mayores civilizaciones que el mundo ha conocido jamas: la nuestra.

Es la cuna de la modernidad en el lado oeste de Estados Unidos. San Francisco, la ciudad más mediterránea de California, está hecha de libros, canciones, fotografías, películas e internet. Seductora cuando le sostienes la mirada, peligrosa si confias demasiado en ella, San Francisco esconde sus encantos entre sus mil colinas y su bella bahia, mientras el Golden Gate une todos los hechizos que posee. Su larga trayectoria literaria la han enaltecido algunos de los mejores narradores americanos. Sus calles, miradores y plazas han sido escenario de peliculas inolvidables. Y la musica compuesta por sus mas inspirados vecinos se ha convertido en la banda sonora de nuestra vida.

Un monumento que debía estar en Lima y no en Santiago, la sepultura de una prostituta santa, un templo azteca en un cementerio, un mausoleo con forma de carpa de circo único en el mundo, la imposición secreta de la sangre de fray Andresito, una botaortopedica que atestigua un milagro, una palmera en una gasolinera, un mural de Roberto Matta que estuvo tapado con pintura durante treinta años, un espectacular y desconocido museo de arte contemporaneo al aire libreLejos de las masas y de los habitualescliches, Santiago guarda tesoros escondidos que desvela unicamente a sus residentes y a los viajeros que buscan salirse de los caminos mas trillados.Una guia indispensable tanto para los que creian conocer bien Santiago como para los que desean descubrir la otra cara de la ciudad.

The first in the City Edition series of books by Trope Publishing Co., Chicago showcases a unique view of one of the most photographed cities in the world by 27 independent photographers from Chicago and beyond. This carefully curated and beautifully bound collection of 206 stunning photographs offers a perspective of Chicago as it has never been seen before. Collectively, the photographs represent a distinctive urban view of the city. The Chicago Edition is divided into eight chapters, primarily focused on the lakefront and downtown areas showcasing iconic buildings, streets and parks. Each chapter is accompanied by a map along with the locations where the photographs were taken. The images reflect the interests of the photographers rather than serving as a comprehensive guide to the city. In many cases, there are several photographs of the same location, shot at different times of the day, in different seasons, with different tones. These studies offer a strong point-of-view, whether digitally processed, filtered, toned, or sharpened - giving each image a contemporary and urban sensibility. Editors Sam Landers and Tom Maday spent nearly a year identifying and meeting with the photographers and meticulously editing their portfolios to produce this unique book.
